POSTING OF IMPORTANT LETTERS TO WRONG ADDRESS.

THE UKBA IS CHARGED WITH THE RESPONSIBILITY TO PROCESS ASYLUM APPLICATIONS.


We at DASUK AND INTERNATIONAL would like to request all Zimbabweans who have been deprived justice owing to the UKBA practice of sending important letters of court appearances to wrong addresses.
This practice is quite shocking and unjust as it only serves to deprive the Asylum applicants the justice they deserve through their inability to appear in court as scheduled.
There are many Asylum Applicants whose letters to appear for court or other important interviews were deliberately send to wrong addresses. The practice serves to put the Asylum Applicants in a position of default and blame thereby dis-empowering them or resulting in their Asylum cases falling off by the wayside.
Many Asylum applicants have suffered this injustice without any room or avenue of recourse. These actions are purely to fail innocent people that have spend a life time waiting for decisions that determine the course of their lives.
The practical examples are situations where Home Office UKBA puts Asylum Seekers into section 4 and NASS section 95 support, the UKBA is the one that gives you the accommodation and they write to you any correspondence that has their interests, where you are to report, and the conditions of your movement. The same UKBA sends your will send your letters requesting your court appearances to the old address where they sure you no longer live. They know you no longer live there because they are the ones who will have given you accommodation as well as where to report.

• What is the idea of this practice?
• How does practice benefit the Asylum Applicants?
• Is the the practice consistent with the genuine intention to be just?

Certainly this country claims to be creating a Just and Fair society through such injustice. It is quite astonishing that captains of poor democratic practice take it upon themselves to teach the world about democracy. There are many events that have affect the welfare of Asylum Seekers in the United Kingdom and many other countries that do not reflect the values they preach when justifying bringing wars to other countries' door steps.
We in DASUK and International trust the the UKBA will see reason in practicing justice and treating Asylum Applicants with respect. It is not impossible that many that are in the Asylum process will one day be policy makers and administrators when their countries are free and safe to return to.
It is important that the Home Office and UKBA update the system in order to provide them with the current address of Applicants to remove the unfair practice of depriving people the right to communication. The United King is not comparable third world countries where such practice are over shadowed with corruption and lack of resources.
It is important that this country sets the right examples if this nation is to take up the international leadership role it currently abuses in many other faculties of life.

For those that have been subjected to this unfair practice provide your comments below this article.
